yact-dev Mailing List for Yet Another Case Tool (Page 2)

SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Qt 2.1 will have a series of new classes for drawing.  QCanvas is probably 
going to be very, very convenient for us.  Ah, I just love Qt :-)

Great!  I took a quick look, and Doxygen procudes some really neat pages 
now (it's been a while since I've used it, so I haven't tried the new 
versions).  A lot of functions are not commented, but still.

Another thing for the web page:  Put up the OD files for the diagrams, and 
not just the pictures.

I did some basic PHP programming for the new QtVu homepage.  It's not done 
yet, but you can see it at http://qtvu.sourceforge.net/new/

What's nice is that those pages are generated on the fly from simple text 
files that describe the content.  Together with cascading style sheets, 
it's easy to change the design of the web page but leave the content 
untouched.  But, most importantly, it's much easier to update the pages.

If you want, I can give you the PHP code.

Huh?

Btw:  Two things about the configuration of the mailinglist:

  - I think you can remove the [Yact-dev] prefix.  The mail is perfectly 
"filterable" by the mailinglist address.

  - Although the configuration page strongly recommends to let 'Reply to' 
be the sender and not the list, it is a lot more convenient to have the 
list IMO.  Then I just have to reply and I don't have to change the To field.

A freshly generated Doxygen doc is now available on the newly moved
website http://yact.sourceforge.net.

We are indeed not alone...
But the other groups doesn't have neither me, Marius or Michael.

New CASE tool projects are popping up all the time.  The latest one is OpenUML:

I thought so as well when I created a list on the QtVu project...

No, not really...  If you can think up something, post it here first or 
something in case there's something we'd like to add.

*sigh*

This was embarrassing.
I thought that as a maintainer of a list I'd automatically get
subscribed to it.  No such luck.  Now I'm on both Qbf and Yact though...

Anyway... Regarding CDIF... Well, if anyone of you wants to write a CDIF
parser for Qbf or Yact (I'm not sure where it would be best to put it),
and that way make it easier to later add some XML stuff, go right ahead.
Coding is good, discussing alternatives are ... less good. :)

Going public on the SourceForge News is a good idea, now that there is
an easy way for somebody else but me to contribute some code.  Thanks
Marius.  Got any suggestions on what to write?

Hi all,

I just read the book Extreme Programming by Kent Beck (I just love him),
and it struck me how close that is to open source development.
Everything is tested all the time since so many people are using it, all
development is used in very short iterations since nobody has very much
time to work on it anyway, integrations are done often since everybody
works against the same cvs server, redesigning and rewriting often since
we don't like to look at bad code, and most importantly, everything is
developed in order of importance (at least to somebody) since everybody
just implements the things that means most to him or her.

I hope we can use something as close to this as possible for the Yact/Qb
pair, just implementing the features we want the most, letting the need
from Yact pull the development of Qb.  

I'm not just suffering from the "when your latest tool is a hammer, all
problems look like nails" syndrome, am I?

/Basic

What do you guys think about going a bit more public about 
Yact?  Specifically, we could use the News ability at the project 
page.  Maybe it will be posted on the SourceForge front page.

Also, on SourceForge alone, there are these UML related projects:

Dachshund - http://sourceforge.net/project/?group_id=1861
Gnage - http://sourceforge.net/project/?group_id=2050
GNUM - http://sourceforge.net/project/?group_id=2566

None of them have a homepage yet.

Additionally, there's the KUML project:

Personally, I've never even heard of CDIF.  But if it is the easiest to 
parser to write....

Hi all,

I searched for CDIF on Google, and it seems as if it is quite close to
XML, but with parens instead of brackets.  Basically.  (Experts on
either will kill me for that statement...)  So, what's the level of
support from the other tools?  Too good to be ignored? :)

Well, never mind, really.  The importance is to get more backends, to
get things rolling. :)

I'll try to get the CVS stuff up tomorrow.  Stay tuned...

/Basic

Just a little test.
